"Advertizing" is a legitimate spelling of the word. In the U.S. Where the Kingdom of Loathing is based (witness "South of the Border" and "Little Canadia, our neighbors to the north"). However, I just noticed that the budget menu on the store maintenance page does spell it "advertising", so this is clearly not worth my fixing your fix. When will Brits learn to speak English, anyway? --Cyferpunk, 16:11 13 Sep 2005 (Eastern Coast of the United States Daylight Time)

Do we have an entry in Kingdom of Loathing History when Jick changed how advertizing budgets worked to link to this page? --Cyferpunk, about two minutes after the last entry

I had never seen it spelled that way until today. It just caught my eye. - LiquidPhire

(No sweat, LiquidPhire, I was just ragging on ya.) Anyway, I found the November 4 2004 history entry and linked it here, but there doesn't seem to be a way to link to a subsection of a page, so if we tried to link back, we'd link to the entirety of 2004. -- Cyferpunk 16:39 13 Sep 2005 (EDT)

no I linked it to the entry with my skillz :)

This: [[History of Loathing (2004)#November 4, 2004]] (November 4, 2004) should do it. --Snickles 19:25, 13 Sep 2005 (Central Daylight Time)

Merge

The article on multi abuse should be merged with this article, IMO. I don't see the point in having two articles that are as closely related as this, especially if they fit well in one. --Aardvark 04:56, 17 Sep 2005 (Central Daylight Time)

  • Nevermind. I just merged them. --Aardvark 05:00, 17 Sep 2005 (Central Daylight Time)

OMFG

  • it is my (mostly unfounded) belief that jick has instituted an Obvious Multi Foxing alGorithm (OMFG) for those of us who insist on having more than one character but not actually breaking the very loose rules on the matter. the one place where such people win out is in turn count. rare items are rare because the chance of getting them per adventure is very small. for example, you can only summon three klaw items per day, so the chances of getting a full set of kwe cards without the mall is very small. similarly, you can only adventure in <insert favourite area here> to get an ultra-rare a certain number of times a day. if you have ooh, say, ten characters, you have ten times the chance. this is unfair, but it doesn't break the rules until you transfer that rare thing to another character somehow.
  • easy solution: on characters which are obvious multis, before giving the chance of rare content, check the flag and don't do it. i first suspected this when i stopped getting hockey masks. i was getting about one a month for the longest time, but then, without any change in behaviour, they stopped, and since, zip. since the chance is very small the most likely explanation is RNG love, and that's the beauty of it. ultimate deniability, equality, fairness. it's a pretty smart solution.
  • anyone else notice anything that could prove or deny my theory?

Is it okay to give all your items and meat to a multi to pvp safely or is that considered abuse?--Poundlor 12:47, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
